Executive Summary

Pastor Ivor Myers has no documented or verifiable public meeting with Steve Daily in connection with the psychobiography "Ellen G. White: A Psychobiography"; searches and the supplied source analyses find no evidence linking the two men in that context. Available biographies, speaker pages, interviews, and book listings mention Myers and Daily separately but contain no reference to a meeting, correspondence, or collaboration between them [1] [2] [3] [4].

1. What the claim says and why it matters — a straight read of the allegation

The claim asserts that Pastor Ivor Myers ever met Steve Daily regarding Daily’s psychobiography of Ellen G. White. This is a specific, verifiable claim involving two identifiable individuals and a published work; it matters because such a meeting would suggest direct engagement between a known Seventh-day Adventist pastor and the author of a controversial psychological study of one of Adventism’s founding prophetic figures. The supplied analyses review speaker bios, interview pages, book listings, and denominational commentary and find no instance where Myers is recorded meeting, endorsing, criticizing, or corresponding with Steve Daily about that book [1] [3] [4].

2. What the sources actually show — separate public footprints, not a shared interaction

The speaker and organizational materials about Ivor Myers document his pastoral work, media appearances, and speaking engagements, including roles as a director and commentator, but they contain no mention of Steve Daily or a meeting tied to the psychobiography [1] [2]. The book listings and bibliographic entries for Steve Daily’s "Ellen G. White: A Psychobiography" likewise provide publication and review information but do not mention Ivor Myers as a participant, endorser, or interlocutor [5] [3]. A review of interviews and articles that cite Myers addressing Ellen White or prophetic interpretation likewise yields no overlap with Daily’s work [4].

3. How researchers checked the claim — what was searched and what came up empty

The supplied analyses indicate searches across speaker bios, program descriptions, denominational review articles, and book catalog entries were performed. Those checks were focused on finding explicit references to a meeting or collaboration and returned only separate entries: Myers on event and media pages and Daily on bibliographic and book-review pages. The consistent result across multiple item types is absence of any corroborating record—a negative finding documented by the speaker page, the Adventist-oriented interviews, and the Goodreads/Ellen G. White Estate book references [1] [4] [3].

4. Alternative explanations and omissions the claim-maker might be relying on

A few plausible reasons explain how the claim could arise despite lack of evidence: informal private conversations are harder to document and might exist without public record; name confusion between similarly prominent Adventist personalities could produce false associations; or selective reading of critiques and defenses of Ellen White might lead someone to infer a link that is not recorded. The supplied material, however, shows no public trace of any such private meeting, and it would be improper to assert one occurred based solely on inference when public bios and book records are silent [1] [2] [3].

5. Bottom line and guidance for verification going forward

Based on the provided source analyses, the claim that Pastor Ivor Myers "ever met Steve Daily" in relation to Daily’s psychobiography of Ellen G. White is unsupported by available documentation. To move beyond absence of evidence, one would need primary documentation such as contemporaneous correspondence, photos, event programs naming both as participants, or credible firsthand testimony; none of the supplied sources produce such items. For verification, request archival records from event hosts where both were alleged to appear, or ask the offices of the individuals involved for confirmation; until then, the responsible position is to treat the meeting claim as unverified and unsubstantiated [1] [3] [4].
